School Cafeteria Yeast Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let it stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
• Mix the milk, eggs and salt into the yeast. Measure the flour into a separate bowl, add 2/3 cup sugar, and crumble the shortening into it using your fingers until it is barely noticeable. Gradually stir the flour into the wet ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and starts to form a ball around the spoon. Cover with a hot wet towel that has been wrung out, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes.
• When the dough has risen, pour the melted butter over it, and knead for about 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut into 2 inch squares. Roll squares into balls, and place into greased round pans, spacing about 1 inch apart. Let rise again until doubled in size. You could also refrigerate the dough, and let it rise overnight for baking the next day.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the rolls for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixing bowl. Let stand until yeast is frothy, about 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups flour, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add shortening and eggs; beat for 2 minutes more. Slowly add remaining flour and mix well. Let dough rise in a warm place, undisturbed, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Punch down dough and divide into 42 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Let rolls rise in a warm spot, undisturbed, until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently brush tops with butter.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix together the warm water and 1 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top, and let it stand for about 10 minutes, until the yeast is foamy.
• 2. Mix the milk, eggs and salt into the yeast. Measure the flour into a separate bowl, add 2/3 cup sugar, and crumble the shortening into it using your fingers until it is barely noticeable. Gradually stir the flour into the wet ingredients. Mix using a wooden spoon until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and starts to form a ball around the spoon. Cover with a hot wet towel that has been wrung out, and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk. This should take about 45 minutes.
• 3. When the dough has risen, pour the melted butter over it, and knead for about 2 minutes. Let the dough rest for a few minutes, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut into 2 inch squares. Roll squares into balls, and place into greased round pans, spacing about 1 inch apart. Let rise again until doubled in size. You could also refrigerate the dough, and let it rise overnight for baking the next day.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake the rolls for about 12 minutes, until golden brown.

Steps:

• Either put in machine in proper order for your machine or throw it in the mixer with a dough hook.
• Let it mix and knead for 10 minutes or so while you find something else to do. It should be soft, but not run out of your hand when you lift it from the bowl.
• Cover with cloth and let double.
• Place on floured board. I just cut it into 4 "equal" pieces and the cut those into another 4 each.
• Spray or grease a large jelly roll pan or whatever you have about that size. Put the big ones on one end and the little ones on the other. Leave about 3/4" or so between the rolls.
• Beware, your environment and oven could change these times.
• Let raise again. Bake at 400 degrees about 9 minutes. Then I personally flip them onto another pan and bake upside down for another 3 minutes so the bottom is nice and crunchy also.
• Store after cooling in a plastic bag or something, but make sure they are truly cool first. I put them in the freezer and then reheat them in the oven as we need them.
• These things are truly one of a kind -- every time.

Steps:

• Place warm water in a mixer bowl; stir in sugar.
• sprinkle yeast over the water and stir.
• Add the melted Crisco.
• In another bowl mix together the flour, dry milk and salt; add to the yeast mixture; beat well.
• Let dough sit for awhile, then roll and cut.
• Put in greased pan and let rise until double in size.
• Bake at 450 until light brown.
• Brush tops with butter.
• NOTE: This dough can be used to make rolls, buns, loaf bread, cinnamon rolls or doughnuts.

Steps:

• 1. Soften yeast in 4 oz. of the water. Add the remainder of the water (6oz) in another bowl. Add the sugar, salt, shortening and dry milk in the bowl. Add 1 1/4 c flour and mix well. Add softened yeast and beaten egg. Add the remaining flour (2-3/4 cup) to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and satiny. Place dough in greased bowl and grease top surface of dough. Cover and let rise until double. Knead and shape rolls. Let them rise again until double. Bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes. This dough can be used for cinnamon rolls.
